Ask the Doc with Dr. Whaley – National Prescription Drug Take Back Day!

Tomorrow, April 29th, is National Prescription Drug Take Back Day. You can turn in any old prescription medicines you may have to your local county police department tomorrow. Dr. Whaley explains to us why it is important not to flush these or throw them out but rather to turn them in. He also talks to us about medical marijuana and the opiate addiction issues in our country. Lastly, Dr. Whaley tells us about the benefits of taking a baby aspirin daily and what it can help prevent.

This segment is sponsored by the Georgia Cancer Specialists.
